Driving Assessment

As part of your driver licensing application, sometimes you are required to provide a medical certificate to ensure you are medically fit to drive.

Driving is often an important part of an individual’s lifestyle, representing independence and freedom, but driving is a complex skill that involves physical and cognitive abilities. A change or loss of function to these abilities, due to ageing, illness or injury, may affect a person’s ability to drive, therefore a GP may request a driving assessment be undertaken.

Our Driving Assessment is suitable for people who wish to commence, resume or continue driving after illness or injury. We also can advise on vehicle modifications to enable safe driving or passenger travel for those with a disability with our Transport for Independence Assessment.

Transport for Independence Assessment

Following injury or illness you, or a loved one, may need some assistance to travel independently.

Independent transport is an important part of an individual’s lifestyle but after injury or illness your functional ability to travel or operate a vehicle could be impaired. We may be able to provide services that support your ability to travel independently.
During this assessment we will identify the most appropriate and suitable transport options for you, this includes and can range from; a vehicle modification or new vehicle grant, retraining for a driver’s licence or evaluating the costs of assisted or third-party travel.
